Katie Piper
Katie Piper OBE is an award-winning broadcaster, bestselling author and charity campaigner, recognised for her work across television, publishing and philanthropy.
Katie first came to public attention through the powerful Channel 4 documentary Katie: My Beautiful Face, where she changed the conversation around burns, scars and survival in this country. Watched by 3.5 million people, the documentary was subsequently nominated for a BAFTA. Since then, she has built an impressive career across television and radio, becoming one of the UK’s most respected and recognisable media personalities. Her presenting credits include ITV’s Loose Women and The Katie Piper Breakfast Show, alongside a range of factual and lifestyle programmes across the W Channel with Katie Piper’s Jailhouse Mums and Locked Up in Louisiana.
Alongside her broadcasting career, Katie is an internationally bestselling author, with a diverse portfolio spanning autobiography, personal development and children’s literature. She recently launched her own literary imprint, The UnSeen, to champion underrepresented voices and bring important stories to the forefront. She is also developing a screen adaptation of her debut book, Beautiful. Through her writing and public speaking, Katie continues to inspire audiences with her powerful message of self-belief, resilience and finding confidence in the face of life’s challenges.
As a sought-after speaker, Katie has addressed audiences on some of the world’s most prestigious platforms, from the World Economic Forum and the House of Lords to leading organisations including Google, Facebook and the NHS. She is also a trusted ambassador for major global brands, including La Roche-Posay, Garmin and Surcare.
In 2009, Katie founded the Katie Piper Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting people living with burns and traumatic scarring through specialist rehabilitation and long-term support. Her advocacy has helped challenge perceptions of beauty and visible difference, championing greater representation and inclusion across the media and wider society.
Awarded an OBE for her services to charity and burn care, Katie continues to use her platform to inspire audiences, raise awareness and drive meaningful change. With a career spanning broadcasting, publishing, public speaking and campaigning, she is a powerful and authentic voice whose influence extends far beyond the screen.
